The Sterling Cooper offices are a fiercely competitive environment where every executive and secretary jockeys to gain power, prestige and the almighty dollar. Take our Mad Men Versus Poll and vote for the employees you think will rise to the top in Season 2, which begins in July.
In the premiere episode of Mad Men, Don tells Rachel Menken that she's never been in love because love doesn't exist. "What you call love," he says, "was invented by guys like me to sell nylons." But nylons aren't the only things Sterling Cooper has tried to sell thus far.
We'd like to thank all of the Mad Men fans that submitted entries to our "Mad Men DVD Giveaway & Culture Quiz" for which we asked you to pick out a book, movie, or TV show mentioned in Season One then discuss how it relates to a scene, the characters, or the show's larger themes. We were delighted with the insight present in all the submissions—you made it tough to pick out just three winners.
That said, congratulations are due to the victors: Deborah, Charliefoxtrot, and Eric Cooley. We'll be getting in touch with you via e-mail to confirm where you'd like your Season 1 DVDs shipped.
We hope you'll all be enjoying the encore airings of Mad Men beginning Sunday nights at midnight following our new series Breaking Bad on January 20th.
Check out Deborah, Charlie and Eric's winnning entries after the jump.
